Night Time Wanderer….

I remember writing a similar post earlier this year about my daughter and her night time wandering. Well, it’s back! Nearly every morning since we moved into the new house, she wakes me a three AM. Sometimes she just wants covered up, sometimes she wants to get in bed with us or her brother, and other times it’s just that she can’t sleep.

I know adjusting to a new house, with her own bedroom is hard for her, and she’s done amazingly well considering the fact. But I miss sleeping through the night! (hmm… Maybe she’s just trying to get me used to night time wakings, so that I’ll be ready when that new baby sister she wants comes… But I guess first she has to convince daddy that he wants a new baby sister for her first!)

It seems like most nights she ends up in bed with her brother at some point or another. Even if I go re-tuck her in, when I go looking for her in the morning she’s in David’s room, curled up in a ball, with her white dora blanket at the foot of his bed. He doesn’t seem to mind it though.

But I must say, Ariana has got to have better night vision than her mom, because I have to turn on lights so that I don’t run into anything yet. I haven’t got the layout of the new place down pat yet, like I did the old house. But she never turns on a light, and I never hear her run into anything.

Hopefully, now that we’re almost all settled, and she’s been in her own room for two weeks now, she’ll start sleeping through the night again. I guess that’s the life of a mom, after the kids come – a full nights rest is out of the question. Now I only wonder why dad’s still get uninterrupted sleep?
